I was trying to be polite & was hoping it went well. Thanks for the info.

No. But God could allow it to happen if He chooses.

If not, I could use income, Lord willing.

I expect almost nothing in life except God's promises in the Bible.

New data:

Appointment for a panoramic X-Ray by a different dentist in a month. Maybe there's a fracture in the palatte. Guess it beats waiting out pain for however many days or decades & maybe treating the cause.

But my pain is nothing compared to the pain of many. I'm praying they experience relief!
